2008 Mosey Barrica Monastrell

The Monastrell grape is more commonly known throughout the world as Mourvedre, which is an important grape in
Rhone blends. Its juice tends to be bold and dark with a propensity towards higher tannin and alcohol.
Bodegas La Purisima has decided to bottle this wine on its own, producing a heavy, powerful red of great intensity.
Aromas of black cherry and leather are abundant from the first quaff while a highly structured and fruit forward
palate tingled the tongue. The wines balance between fruit and acidity provide for a long and impressionable finish
that will pair well with a variety of game meats, grilled steaks and the traditional Spanish dish Paella.
